Trouble updating to 1.8

--NOTE-- THIS IS FOR VERSION 1.8

I've been having trouble updating to 1.8. When I click play it goes back to the launcher and says this

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

I have no idea what this means, I've looked it up on the internet and it looks like no one has the similar problem.
